We moved into Whispering Oaks end of 2015. The last two weeks of December saw us frantically packing, unpacking, renovating, painting - all in order to be ready for the 2016 summer holiday season. Our first guest booked in on the 28th December into our Luxury Room. We would have loved to modernize the bathroom, but for now, a few modern elements introduced to a somewhat dated, but otherwise adequate bathroom will have to do. We painted the walls white, put the new flat screen television up, had lots of fun deciding what furniture and paintings would make our first guest room beautiful. My dad came to spruce up the courtyard garden (with some 'help' from Luella) We decided to splurge on queen sized extra length beds - Cloud Nine Chiroflex because my mother gets so many compliments on the quality of these mattresses which she uses in her guest house. I always thought choosing your bedlinen came down to deciding about colour or design - now I learnt that it's all about thread count and the colour choice is white or white when it comes to bedding for a guest house. I did act the rebel and opted for a lovely dove grey combined with white. We are so happy with the outcome - what do you think?
